History

Founded in 19??, the Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) at Carleton University started with relatively humble beginnings being a central place in the social, cultural, and religious life of Muslim students on campus. Since then, the MSA has grown to be the largest and most organized student club at the university with a membership of over ??1,500?? students, faculty, and staff. The purpose of the MSA is to serve and represent the needs of Muslims on and off campus. Therefore, the purpose of this page is to act as a historical archive to chronologically covey the history of the MSA since it’s inception in 19?? up to the present moment.
